From what i can see on that application it says 10000 seated under the Proposed Capacity heading

Yeah sorry you're right. I just Googled "Malahide Castle Planning application" and then done a quick ctrl f for capacity and it mentione 5000. My bad.

Sold out.Second date added.

Jonny Arson · 24-02-2007 12:44AM

€50 for those gigs is ridiculous. They charged €15 when they played Whelans about 18 months ago.

goodfela · 24-02-2007 11:31AM

JonnyArson, what do you think is a fair price??

They're one of the biggest bands around and if they were playing ... the tickets would be around 30 or 35 quid. This is more of a day event where they'll probably have 2 or 3 decent support bands so it seems pretty fair to me.

i'm not going myself coz i've seen them before but this is no rip-off.

€40 absolute tops.

They haven't even released their 2nd album yet and judging from what songs i've heard they're nowhere near as good as the material from their first album. To charge that price without people hearing the new album ain't cool in my book. Sorry, no band with one album released is worth €50, indoor or outdoor gig.

They're certainly playing the commercial game now!

Im hoping 50% of those sales are misguided touts.

well clearly you are wrong as they sold out the first date..

That's why Aiken and the band are charging what they like because most concert going fans are happy to be fleeced. I bet you there's plenty of touts kicking themselves when the 2nd date was added

and "judging from what songs i've heard they're nowhere near as good as the material from their first album" you have heard stuff from the second album? where?

plenty of recordings of their latest gigs floating around the web.

I would have to agree with that.

I mean, they'll probably have their whole set finished up in one hour.

Heh heh...

Though tbh, I am very surprised that this sold out. Are they really that big? 20,000+ is quite alot of people.

goodfela · 27-02-2007 03:15PM

By the time the gig happens, the second album will be out a few months so obviously they'll have more than an hours worth of material.

Anyone who thinks a gig in Malahide Castle, Ardgillan Castle, Marlay Park or any of these types of places would only be Euro 40 maximum is living in fantasy-land - but i'm sure you already know that and just wanna argue the point for the sake of it.

EDIT: There's a gig tonight with a band on their second album for more than Euro 50 i think so it's clear who's being ripped off! (And i'm not talking about whether you think the band are good or not - anyone who's going to buy a ticket to one of these gigs obviously likes the band, what we're talking about is value for money)

Sajan · 27-02-2007 07:34PM

The fact of the matter is that nearly all gigs sell out in Dublin. It's getting ridiculous. Everything sells out.

Zebra3 · 18-03-2007 10:47PM

Well, €50 (for the cheap seats) into the Ireland-Wales match on Saturday or €50 into the Arctic Monkeys in June?

No competition!!!!

Really looking forward to this gig!!!!

And for those southsiders wondering about getting out to the gig just take a northbound DART (although not one marked Binn Éadair

). 25 mins or so from the city centre?

Anyway anyone know how long it would take to get from Dublin city center to Malahide Castle?

Lordgoat, if you're going to try and slag someone off, I'd advise you to learn how to spell or is "disgrundled" a word that "poor little" me doesn't know about? Tosser.

SligoBrewer · 28-03-2007 08:41PM

ANYWAYS... back Ot...

does anyone know who the support acts are gonna be?

storka · 29-03-2007 03:39PM

AFAIK they haven't been booked yet.

Helix · 28-04-2007 06:33AM

i hate the arctic monkeys with every fibre of my being, but the support is almost worth it

storka · 29-04-2007 12:00PM

I was hoping they would add Delorentos, gonna be an even better gig now.

Where did you see that these were added as support?

Alter-Ego · 29-04-2007 02:26PM

Ah delorentos are everywhere.

They'd play a 5yr olds birthday party if the price was right.

Sorry! I didn't know.

Looking forward to the gig too, hopefully the rain will hold off!!!

Mr_Roger_Bongos · 15-06-2007 01:34AM

Does anyone know what the situation is with parking in Malahide Castle?

Drove past the castle out of interest a couple of weeks back, doesn't look easily accessible even though i was told by someone in Malahide you can normally park in the grounds for concerts. I realise this is a slightly different gig from Andrea Bocelli!

With the amount of rain we've been having over the last few days I wouldn't be too confident about parking a car in a field!! Actually, the parking would be fine it'd be the getting out that I'd be more worried about!!!

Dublin's Finest · 15-06-2007 10:33AM

Anyone got times for the when support is playing and when Monkeys come on? I'm guessing around 8.

I fancy giving the Delorentos a miss: Coral and Supergrass are a defo though.

nxbyveromdwjpg · 15-06-2007 12:04PM

The weather is going to completely wreck this gig..

Tomorrow
Saturday will be begin overcast in the east, but any patchy rain will clear during the morning. Brighter weather in the west will extend countrywide during the early afternoon with sunny breaks developing. However well scattered showers will affect some areas. Highest temperatures 15 to 18 degrees.

Fingers crossed it's ok tomorrow, but I'd say wellies will be an essential!
